Frantically googling "US soldiers UK bases", "MoD pay US soldiers" and "third amendment UK"

A tweet by a doctor stating that "It is a profound failure of leadership that even the most 'patriotic' White men in British office are too afraid to name the 'Israeli' Jewish lobby as the primary architect of mass migration policy."

I'm posting this on BlueSky to (hopefully) disprove a theory I have about this platform.

Do people on here understand this is not 'pro-Palestine' activism, despite this individual describing her output as such? That this is in fact the Great Replacement theory so beloved of White Nationalists?

Potemkin training?

"Dear Sir, Your good name has been bought to my attention as a trustworthy man and a believer in God. I am the son of the late Queen Elizabeth II, ruler of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. My mother left me forty-five million pounds and the city of York but I am unable ..."

Lech Lecha – the covenants of peoplehood and land After giving a talk at a Muslim interfaith forum, entitled “One God, one humanity, many religions” I was asked after it by a group of interested young Muslim men - What makes the Jews Jewish?  Christianity they understood, Islam they understood, but Judaism – what makes Jews Jewish? What gives us our special identity and our difference is the way we see our relationship with God, the understanding we have of being in a relationship of Covenant.

Official October 30th Deportation Press Release Israel Moves to Deport Two Jewish- ِAmerican Women for Participating in Peacebuilding Olive Harvest with Rabbis for Human Rights Jerusalem, Israel — In a striking move that underscores Israel’s growin...

“Israel is a refuge for all Jews”

Unless they try to help Palestinians who are being attacked by fascist settlers during their olive harvest, then apparently it’s deportation time.

This is an escalation in the state’s effort to redefine “Jewish” in a supremacist way.

They told Arch to piss off lmao

The Discord server does a solid job of keeping the chuds out (especially after female Custodes caused them to migrate from 40k), so I'm fairly hopeful the community as a whole will push hard to keep it that way

I don't think it'll ever be as suited as 40K for long chunks of narrative where you get to root for Your Guys in the struggle against Those Guys, but that's also probably downwind of 40K playing with such a big sandbox that losing a planet isn't always a massive stake

The community throws a bunch of whimsy back into it, but I get bouncing off the relentless grindark

I've heard they're a bunch of deerlinquents

I entirely forgot that I made this anti-ASMR video (Sound warning headphones users)

Green Greek Figs Preserve (Siko Glyko) Spoon sweet are very popular in Greece.  Amalia gave me this recipe and explained me that to make this frigs preserve (Γλυκό του κουταλιού Σύκο) it’s necessary to pic the figs until they are still …

I've used something like this recipe specifically for underripe figs, mine ended up a lot more like a (very nice) jam

A cup with two scoops of gelato - pistachio and pumpkin

Scoops 19-20
Gelateria Galliera 49
Pistachio and pumpkin

Ate these much too quickly on the way to a rainy walking tour, and the pistachio wasn't as great as some online reviewers hyped it up, but it was definitely still lush. Alas, Sablè are a three minute walk away and unmitigatedly better

There's some great charting of those first combinations Up North in here, though Priestland claims the chips came from Irish Catholics in Liverpool (but that was back in '72, so the Hugenot link's probably better scholarship!)

I mean, just look at this "micro speciality emotional gelataria" and "genuine nutritional value" and you still have to hand it to him

A cup of gelato with three scoop - Amarena, Crema Bolognese and prickly pear

Scoops 16-18
Sablè Gelato, Bologna
Amarena, Crema Bolognese and prickly pear

This guy had an obscene number of awards up on his shelf, so I was honestly rooting for this to just be so-so out of spite. It's genuinely incredible and my only regret is not going back to try the nasturtium

A cup of gelato with two scoops - Crema Libanese and Speculoos

Scoops 14-15
Cremeria Santo Stefano, Bologna
Crema Libanese and Speculoos

A valiant attempt at dessert after ordering way too much for dinner, tragically neither flavour stood out enough to worth mentioning. Still really solid, and not far from the student district with €8/litre "Aperol" spritz!

An ice cream cone with three scoops - Mascarpone with melted chocolate, coffee mascarpone with Terina pie and pine nuts cream with toasted pine nuts

Scoops 11-13
Cremeria Cavour, Bologna
Mascarpone w/ melted chocolate, coffee mascarpone w/ Terina pie and pine nuts cream w/ toasted pine nuts

The first two were really solid, but that pine nut overdose was incredible. Would honestly have gone back for three scoops of just that

A cup of gelato with two scoops - Sicilian Cassata and "Cream of Grom" (egg custard w/ biscuits)

Scoops 9-10
Grom, Milan
Sicilian Cassata and "Cream of Grom" (egg custard w/ biscuits)

These guys are all over the place, but the flavours were actually really kinda lacking. They used to have a store in London, it's closed now and probably for good reason

An ice cream cone with three scoops (two light and one light-brown, I forgot the actual flavours)

Scoops 6-8
Chocolat, Milan

I actually forgot these flavours, but it doesn't really matter because it turns out they don't even have their god-tier Actual Chocolate stuff out at 10am. Go here if you've got any time whatsoever near Cadorna Station

An ice cream cone with two scoops - salted pistachio and "cream with grape compote & walnut crumble"

Scoops 4-5
Gusto 17, Milan
Salted pistachio and "cream w/ grape compote & walnut crumble"

Went back for an 11pm encore, the salted pistachio was definitely the better of the two. Best eaten while watching a massive traffic jam of black vans trying to drop people off at some fashion event

An ice cream cone with three scoops - salted caramel, tiramisu stracciatella and crunchy biscuit with Modena sour cherries

Scoops 1-3
Gusto 17, Milan
Salted caramel, tiramisu stracciatella and crunchy biscuit w/ Modena sour cherries

Absurdly strong start, biscuit w/ cherries probably taking first place. Had to be eaten far too quickly on account of the heat

Unbelievable levels of pride

I ate ~7% of my body weight in gelato in six days, AMA
